This is powerful and speaks volumes about how we neglect things. I love the angle and the lighting - the fact that it is in black and white adds to the starkness of it. I love it.

makes me feel like i've let down my Ben Fold's cd for a bit... heheh.. this is awesome, my piano kinda sits like that when i havent played it for a few days.. actually, im gonna go play it, cuz ur picture portrays the sad emotion of every piano in the world that never gets to sing because no one ever wants to play.. smash key to heart to music... this is awesome.. too much emotion for me to comprehend.. melXX

I love this picture.. what amazes me is the perceptiveness you have to possess to choose what you take a picture of.. my friend drove up to pick me up today while I was leaning over a wonderful two-tone blue, really really tiny flower (didn't get the pic.. *shrugs*) and was making fun of me afterwards.. *L* but I could never have your perceptiveness.. what's even better are your descriptions and your way with words.. I just love it all..

Where was this?
Waterloo?
Do you know what the building was called?
Was it an old box factory?

A friend of mine might know someone with a studio in here now oddly enough.

singing loves the answer to a question I have forgotten

This was in the Lang building. The space in the image has since been partitioned off into units and rented out. This is also where I took that "vertigo" staircase photo.

I wanted to take you to the roof of that building for a picnic... but then they sealed up the roof entrance. Bastards.

Sarah and I got a trespassing ticket there once because she lied to the cops about us being on the roof. It sucked.

That place used to be neat but now it's kind of crappy.

ok this is just beautiful, and kinda dark and i love it. I am just sick with jealousy right now, teach ME YOUR WAYS!

You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.

-Mark Twain (1835 - 1910), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

Wow... that photo is six years old. I was only 17 and just starting to discover photography. I didn't even have my first SLR yet.

Back then I used to just walk around and explore downtown at night. I'd sneak into warehouses and factories whenever possible and photograph what I found. Often, I'd do this while listening to depressing music because I found it inspirational. Needless to say I was a bit angsty.

These days it isn't much different. I'm still walking around and sneaking into places where I shouldn't be... I just leave the walkman at home now.
